2026 Outlook
Andrew Rupcich is the Patriots' starting left guard heading into 2026. He suffered a left knee injury in the preseason opener against Indianapolis on August 13, 2026, when he crumpled to the ground on a run play. At first glance the injury looked serious, but after the game Rupcich said his knee "just got rolled up" and appeared in good spirits. The Patriots' interior OL depth behind Rupcich (Ben Brown and James Hudson as backups) is not deep, making his status important to monitor heading into the regular season (per Patriots Appeared to Avoid Disaster With Pair of OL Injuries).
